Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s Mercedes Benz CL 65 AMG on display at Motala Motormuseum.

Zlatan purchased this car while playing for Italian team Inter. It has driven 78,300 km and is not only famous for being owned by Zlatan.

When it was parked outside Zlatan’s previous residence in Malmö, thieves lifted it into the air and stole the wheels and rims. However, the rims later returned, though the details remain unknown. After Zlatan, the car was owned by another well-known sports figure, the trotting icon Lutfi Kolgjini. Today, it is part of the Motala Motormuseum collection.
